Chapter 20.2

Hes a monster.

This was Leias impression of the duel that just took place- someone who was a part of the Five Greats of the Empire.

To think that he has only been learning magic for about a month hes indeed a genius. I could still understand if it was just the amount of magic power output of Jung Ji-hoos which stood out

She paused for a moment and then continued.

But his attribute confuses me. When the [Stone] And [Heaven] Attributes collided in the duel just now, the [Stone] Attribute one-sidedly lost its power. Because of that, Kyle lost his attribute magic. He was then forced to fight a losing battle.

Is that so?

Dave was stunned by the majesty of the magic storm, so he couldnt confirm the specifics of the events that took place within.

But if one of the strongest in the Empire said that was the case, then that must have been the proceedings.

I think its probably a characteristic of the attribute itself... Its not an exaggeration to say that the exact ability and conditions to utilise it will require further research, but the power to neutralize an opponents attribute is already a cheat.

Shes a monster... And even though these same words are coming out of this monsters mouth, they are not lacking in credibility.

He thought so while looking sideways at Leah, who was staring blankly at the gymnasium where the duel had just ended, and recalled her background.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Her case was special.

She was a dagger of the empire that awakened and destroyed the village where she lived at the tender age of 11 due to attribute overload.

Unlike the vast majority of awakeners who awakened at the age of 20, the phenomenon of awakening at a younger age was called attribute overload.

As it was a special event, one could gain tremendous power, but as a result of the early awakening, ones lifespan was greatly shortened.

Under the mask of the 19-year-old, her face was probably crumbling and decaying in real-time.

Then... Id like to ask you a question.

The 2nd prince asked a question that he wanted an answer to, pertaining to the aftermath of the duel.

How long will it be until Jeong Ji-Hoo can stand his ground and prevent his death by the current Imperial Five Greats?

Dave, be careful of what you say. Jihoo is not an enemy of the Empire.

Yet. Thats not something anyone could say for sure to be the case forever.

Soniels voice was cold, but Dave didnt care.

Because, as a member of the Imperial Family, he knew he had to examine all possibilities for the future.

I cant say for sure, but given his tremendous growth rate, I think it should be at least until he graduates from the academy.

Graduation... Its still earlier than I expected.

Your Highness, dont worry too much. For this very reason, my post was transferred to the academy.

I, Park Min-ho, felt confident.

Kyle, whom I watched in the duel, was an opponent I could defeat with my sword.

However, I do not have the confidence to achieve a landslide victory like Jihoo just did.

I thought I had trained enough for a month, but I was complacent.

From now on, I will resolve myself to work even harder and reduce my spare time.

Meanwhile, Min Hye-rin was thinking very differently from her classmates.

Her attribute sense had suddenly activated during the duel.

Finally, she was able to utilize her attributes, albeit in small amounts.

The stress, which had been accumulating inside of her because of the lack of changes to her senses, completely disappeared.

She didnt know why, but this was also probably thanks to spectating the duel.

Really. You always find some way to help me.

The anger Jihoo felt for her led him to duel a graduate of the academy, taking away her troubles from her plate.

He is my target. He is a friend who always does things for me. He is the only one equal to me; the only... Man.

Min Hye-rins feelings of goodwill and her interest gradually began to develop into a crush.

***

Master won the duel!?

He had won a splendid victory against her enemy, the 1st Princes subordinate.

It wasnt that he was directly fighting for her sake, but it was natural for Ireina to feel a sense of exhilaration after watching her Master thwart the 1st Prince.

And for that reason, for the first time since becoming his maid, she felt a sense of servitude towards him.

No, this is just... Its a reward. Yes, just a reward. He is the person who avenged my familys enemies even just a little, so its only natural I do this for him.

Ireina quietly entered his bedroom.

She did so quietly, so as not to disturb her master.

Her master was tired and decided to take a nap for a while.

But the slightly swollen bump on his trousers informed Ireina that he would be waking up anytime now.

This is just because it looks painful... Yes, only for that reason.
